On October 19, 2005 Erin Hope Galbraith was our normal, adorable, spunky little 4-year old angel who loved Disney princesses and hated broccoli. On October 20th, our world changed when a large brain tumor that took up approximately two-thirds of Erin’s left brain was discovered. After a grueling 13-hour surgery, the tumor was completely removed, leaving Erin with slight paralysis on her right side. During the following days, Erin’s recovery was sensational as her spunkiness and innate ability to make all around her laugh returned. All looked positive and our relief and gratitude to God was enormous that this challenge was almost over. Yet it was not to be as on October 28, 2005 the devastating news came that the tumor that was removed was malignant.

Wow can you believe that Erin has been passed away for almost two years now!!!!!!!!!
I miss here so much some times I think I am going to die of missing her so much.
I know she is still with me but it is not the same as I want it to be.

Today is October 12, 2010. It has been a little over 10 months since Erin passed away. I still miss her!! I miss her giggle, hugs, kisses, smile, attitude, spunk, her golden hair, just about everything.

I received an email entitled "Hope is A Powerful Medicine" It gave me a lot to think about especially going into Easter Weekend. Many have watched over the last years the challenges my little family and I have faced. Some have said. "how do yo do it?" It is simple...I am strengthened by the power of the Lord. I am filled with HOPE.

I want to share my Easter gift with you. HOPE

Hope can be a fragile thing in the life of a child with cancer or other life-threatening illness. Actually, it is a fragile thing in all of us. It needs nurturing.

Four months ago today my sweet little Erin passed away. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her. I really miss her with an intensity I never knew was possible. But I know the Lord is with me and the kids. I have felt Him there...He carries us and comforts us and helps us through this time.

Erin Hope Galbraith our miracle child, and angel passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on November 29, 2009 in Orem, Utah after a long, courageous fight with cancer at the age of 8 years old. She was born on March 4, 2001 in Ogden, UT to Steven and Nancy Galbraith. In 2003 her family moved to Utah County. She was the youngest of three children. She attended school at Orchard Elementary.

I was saddened to hear of Erin's passing, but, happy that she is free from pain. I know that she walks with angels. I am a better person, marveling at her strength and courage. The entire family has been an inspiration to me and I feel very fortunate to get to know all of you. Wishing you all the very best in the days to come.

Thanks to each of you for all your love and prayers. We have felt your love and are so grateful.

Erin's Funeral is Friday at 11am at the LDS Chruch at 955 N 300 E in Orem. The viewing will be Thursday night from 6 - 8 pm at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home. 646 E 800 N in Orem. Thanks to each of you. Look for her obituary in the Daily Herald and Standard Examiner on Wednesday.

Erin is one-of-a kind. I am so grateful to be her auntie. I can't even express how much we will miss her. Nancy, Ted, and Kate you are all so amazing. I love you all so much and will see you soon.
